Vantaggi

Agile and nimble team that can change with the dynamic retail business environment. Still a dedicated team of people are collaborative and tackle day to day challenges.

Svantaggi

Huge turnover issues. Struggling sales and forecasting. A micromanaging CEO that hasn’t really grown the business other than changing the business mix and filling his pockets with money from the sale of the company to Ferrero. The environment is extremely toxic and challenging for many junior associates and mid level management; some of the change that the c-level suite pushes out is unnecessary. Lack of business strategy from top down. Extremely reactionary environment.

Iconic brands Capable coworkers Cool office, and good location Real opportunities to build tangible experience

Svantaggi

Very cut throat / unforgiving culture Poor work / life balance Poor IT systems Unrealistic deadlines, “Ferrara Fast” High employee turnover Most work is churn at the corporate level, does not feed into proper decisions / strategy execution at the executive level Short term performance management, worse than Private Equity companies. Week to week performance reviews of the business, leading to substandard results in market and serious risk of long term underperformance
